This morning it was cloudy when I got into my car
I was cruising down the freeway, hadn’t gotten very far
When I noticed that the sun began to cut right through the clouds
My thoughts turned to my Jesus and this day that God allowed.
And I thought of all the nudging, the convicting and compelling
The Father laid upon my life – my head and heart rebelling.
For I didn’t understand it, why should I get involved?
Surely there are others who could get the problem solved.
As I pondered on “co-incidents” of this past short time
I remembered a familiar song. It would fit “tonight” just fine.
I sang the words, and Oh the impact! on me in that place.
My voice gave way to great big tears, streaming down my face.
I felt anew the depth of love, my Jesus has for me
He gave Himself, and took my sins upon that rugged tree
My heart and voice cry out to Him, “Dear Jesus I am grateful,
For Your deepest love, Your kindest care – I need help to be faithful.”
Your gentle leading in my life – the tasks You’ve called me to
Though hard at times, Your plan is right – help me to be true!
And Jesus sometimes I don’t have, an attitude that’s willing
Yet with eyes on You, to know what to do, my life is so fulfilling!
